Without converting the download to .pdf there’s no way to know and I don’t know if that’s even possible. The simplest way to download Wikipedia is through Kiwix. The largest download is 109.89GB and is stored in a .zim format so you need to use a specific application like Kiwix to read it, but its free and open source.

You can. You just need the storage space.

Not sure that I’ll be donating every year, but I also donated for the first time in 2024. Every little bit counts and when I can find the extra money, I’ll send it their way. Also, friendly reminder, it’s possible to download the entire contents of Wikipedia with less than 100GB. It’s just 16GB if compressed.

Ripping. I’ve searched the sidebar for guides but nothing jumps out to me. I’m sure I could find it eventually, but I don’t necessarily want to waste a couple hours browsing if someone knows where to look off the top of their head already. Any help is appreciated obviously!
